BRITAIN: Anti-Gay Christian Group Forces Grocery Giant To End Pride Funding

Faced with a boycott by an anti-gay Christian group, British supermarket chain Tesco will end its funding of Pride London.

Tesco does not plan to sponsor Pride London again after next year, PinkNews.co.uk can confirm, only days after the Christian Institute called for shoppers to boycott the retailer. The company, which employs nearly half a million staff, told PinkNews.co.uk its preference is to “support projects with practical benefits rather than events”, and that this applies universally across its charitable giving.
